I would love to see support for this in Python. Unfortunately, I'm not
qualified to review your code. Can you create a feature request for it on
the bug tracker, mark me (steven.daprano) as interested, and upload your
diff? If the patch is accepted, you may be asked to sign a contributor's
agreement. It's not very complicated.

I wouldn't worry about Apple users for the time being. Let's see if we can
get it accepted first.
